Sebastian Picur is one of the most popular clergy who regularly publishes content on social media. He is known for providing answers to Internet users’ doubts and questions. A few days ago, he answered a woman about the possibility of receiving Holy Communion in church after a divorce. The priest’s short answer caused great outrage.

Can a divorced person receive Holy Communion?
A TikTok user asked Father Sebastian a question: “I’m divorced, I’m not in any relationship, can I receive Holy Communion?” Not all priests are willing to answer. It is not known whether they are afraid or do not want other priests to think badly of them. Father Sebastian is known for providing answers to both quite pleasant questions and slightly more difficult ones. This time, he also did not leave the Internet user without an answer.
Yes. I invite you to confession and Holy Communion.
– some Internet users did not like the short and concise answer on TikTok.
“Everyone should have the right to holy community…”
The priest probably did not expect that his answer would cause such an avalanche of reactions and outrage among his followers. The comments were full of situations describing how other priests treated people who had been divorced during confession. There were other examples and stories of people being denied being godparents or being confirmed. There were voices full of indignationthat in a little while priests will decide who can enter or leave the church. It is clear that there is a lot of bitterness and anger among Internet users, which is caused not by the behavior and courage to speak publicly of Father Sebastian Picur, but by the behavior and behavior of other priests. Unfortunately, this has a significant impact on the decreasing number of churchgoers in Poland.
It’s good that they don’t decide yet whether I can even enter the church after the divorce.
Why are people treated worse after divorce than those who take the lives of others? They are forgiven and can receive communion, but a divorcee, who sometimes saves his life, does not have such a privilege?
I once had a divorce, not a church divorce, and the priest asked me to leave the confessional.
Everyone should have the right to the community of St. What’s the problem that after a civil marriage you can’t understand it, it’s sick.
I would like to go to confession to talk and seek advice, but I don’t trust the priest enough…
